It was Thanksgiving, but TNA pulled 165K viewers last Thursday, which I'm pretty sure is their lowest-rated episode ever.

Remember in the Spike days when TNA was pretty much immune to holiday viewership drops? Didn't they famously get over a million viewers on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day once?

It was like SpikeTV ran on exactly 1 million televisions that never turned off. Never more or less. it was surreal.

It's my favourite part of the TNA website now that the roster page that still had King Mo on it, years after he left the company, was finally taken down.

Actually the funny part was that the roster page was updated on a regular basis for injuries/suspensions etc. but it still took forever for wrestlers who'd left the company to be taken off.

He was never in great shape in WWE, but WWE has a way, way better make-up crew plus he had a giant beard.

He got bloated. His schedule in WWE involved him traveling for up to forty hours a week and wrestling itself, as physically active as it is, is counter intuitive to staying in shape. After he left that, he got bloated.

Well I mean he's in worse shape now but it's not like he was remotely chiseled before leaving WWE. I'd say most of him looking completely terrible vs. when he was in WWE is in his face. Losing the beard/worse make-up has made him look more like a guy losing everything he loved vs. just being in worse shape.

Oh no oh god it's all true!
also when you do something strenuous regularly you start to eat a lot more, and getting out of it -- even if you try to stay in training -- it's easy to just keep up the same eating habits you had before. you have to either keep up the crazy schedule on your own time, which is tough, or cut back and eat healthier, which isn't as hard but you have to actually do it and many don't

He showed up on the indies fatter than he is now, and getting in even a little worse shape after leaving the WWE is cause for concern.
